I'm a rum guy.<br><br>I used to drink Whaler's (and still do) on a regular basis. Great white... hint of vanilla. Yum.<br><br>But recently I picked up a bottle of Sailor Jerry's Rum and have bought nothing else since.<br><br>Hint of Cherry flavor. Old Satly dog recipe. 98 proof. 'nuff said. :)<br><br>Interestingly enough there is a picture of Sailor Jerry on the bottle. He looks disturbingly like my grandfather, God bless his soul. Indeed the two could be clones. (That is, Dad Dad and Sailor Jerry, not Dad Dad and God! :P )<br><br>Like Sailor Jerry, he was in the Navy in WWII. He had plenty of tatoos, and flew a flag until the day he died.<br><br>This one's for you, Dad Dad! :)<br><br>Anyway if you like rum, pick up a bottle. It's really good stuff. Just be careful, it's easy to down most of a bottle in one sitting, and at 98 proof you'll lose about 12 hours of your life to blackout and another 24 to the worst hangover you've ever had!!!!! :D<br><br>

I <strike>remember</strike> have a vague memory of sharing "Tiki bowls" a rum fruit mixture with a double shot of rum in the center at a Chinese restaurant when I was 20. That was the last time I ever drank rum. Actually I don't care for any alcohol drinks except beer. They all make me sick literally.<br><br>

I drink plenty of beer - Yeungling's Black & Tan mostly - but for hard liquor I drink mostly rum (either rum & coke, or just straight rum) and tequila or mescal. <br><br>I do a lot of cooking and grilling with tequila and mescal. <br><br>Funny thing is I don't really care for spiced rum, which Sailor Jerry's is.. but it's so different than the other spiced rums. I have to watch myself when I twist off the cap, otherwise I'm in for a hurting the next day :D<br><br>Funny thing is, for less strong rums like Whalers, I put maybe 1/4 of rum into a glass and the rest coke. Any more and I can't stand it. With Jerry's which is much stronger, I can easily do half a glass and half coke, and even drink it straight.<br><br>Of course, alcohol is a poison so the making sick part I can understand. It's kind of like coffee, an acquired taste and something you work into.<br><br>

I'm a wine drinker. And usually I don't like "flavored" spirits...with the exception of rum. Its the only liquor that actually gets better when you mix spicy and fruity flavors with it. <br><br>Interesting info about the sailor jerry.<br><br>

Hey man, that's my drink. Give me a cold Bud light and I am good to go. I really like the taste of beer. I don't drink by myself, but I could easily replace water with beer if it didn't impair my ability to drive.<br><br>Trog, you could hang with my gal. She's a wine drinker like you. I hate wine. I don't like any hard drinks like Rum. I don't even like fluffy special beers. Bud light and pizza. Heaven.<br><br>

Bud Lite? I'd rather drink piss. Actually I've been to the Busch brewery, I think I saw the workers up there pissing in a vat that was labeled Bud Lite. :)<br><br>Nah. Give me a Yeungling Black and Tan, or a Guiness anyday. Theakston's Old Peculiar is another favorite. <br><br>But light colored ales? They've no more taste than water. :)<br><br>I do like Grolsch in the flip top bottle though.<br><br>
